I love the color of this... I have the sandy bay (bright gold) and it looks great on but it is so messy. I find it always flies up when I open it and gets all over my table. I find it also gets all over my face (even when I get the brush damp), its nice, but I like to contain the sparkle. Ive had mine for probably four years and have used it maybe five times becuase its just so messy. BUT, if you are a makeup guru and can contain sparkle then I highly recommend for pigment, i'm just not that pro.
